Happily driving home with my son from Cass Lake Minnesota.
Booked this hunt 2 years ago when I accidently found this outfitter when I stopped for a night of ice fishing eelpout while on the drive home to Colorado from an Ontario wolf hunt.
Zone 28 takes 6 preference points and we already had 4 that i had actually stopped applying for years ago. Minnesota never purges your points.
I was a little apprehensive as his pricing was the lowest I've come across but a super nice guy and and tons of pictures to show his results. They went 24/24 last year.
Most are average bears with a few big ones every year.
Things started much slower this year wth the acorns falling like rain and luring lots of bears off the baits.
Anyway my son and I actually were the first 2 to fill our tags on opening day. My sons boar weighed in dressed at 322 and mine dressed at 135. Totally average for mine but a heck of a nice bear for my son who doesn't get to travel as much as I do.
Already making the plans for a return trip in 6 years. And just booked wisconsin zone b for 2027 with 11 points.
Also added the picture of the 1 fish that stated this trip over 2 years ago. January is not the time for eelpout but managed to catch my first one. Lol
